4 Discussion Of the Qssstios-How Fpr
Must . wife Go in Obeying Her Hug
hand.
When the news Of Mrs. Craik's death
came. many persons who have de-
lighted in her novels for nearly forty
years must have felt regret that her
last public utterance should have been
that unfortunate article in the Forum.
We all knew that she was a strong up
holder of the right of husbands to rule
over their wives, and the duty OF wives
to render implicit obedience; but she
would not have maintained on cool re-
Election the assertion that it is natural
and commendable for q woman Ito
make herself q mat for the mans feet
to walk over. to believe every thing he
does and says is right"
Though an intensely conservative
EnglishwOman. she was pure minded
and conscientious in the extreme. and
always maintained that a wife's obedi-
ence must stop short of doing wrong.
This is abundantly exemplilied in IA
Brave Lady," and in several cf her
other novels. Perhaps the most forci-
BILE statement of it occurs in 1.-TWO
Marriages" A weak daughter has let
herself be coerced by despotic father
into marrying one man when she loves
another. Two elderly ladies are dis
cussing the question whether she did
right. One says:
''She was bound to obey her father"
'.No. she wasn't" replied Mrs. Knowle.
sternly and strongly. 'My dear, you're
not bound to obey any man living, not
even your own husband, who is mighty

when he tells you to 90 Il wrong thing.
If Edward Knowle said to me: Emma.
I'm hungry. want you to chop your
self up into mince-meat for me;' we'll.
perhaps l might do it, if he really
wanted it. and it harmed no one but
myself But if he said: Emma. I'm

that leg of mutton should say: No.
sir. Gods law is higher law than
obedience to you. Steal your legs of
mutton for yourself
In the medieval story, the model
wife Griselda feels bound to acquiesce
IN her husbands proposal to commit
any enormity, even the murder of their
child, and lavishes upon him never a
smile the less after she believes that he
has perpetrated the crime. That is
the genuine door-mat theory. Mrs.
Craik'S mince-meat theory marks an
advance. There will be Il still further
advance when all men and women
come to realize that it is spiritually in
furious to any one to feed habitually
upon diet of minced fellow creature.
and that no one has a right either to
exact or to render such a sacrifice.

is drained he finds that it takes less

the rain can soak down into the soil,
whereas. where it is not drained the
water lies on top. and the sun evapor-

which is the branch Of big out-Oi-
town scale factory. are more different
kind of scales than most people mag.
inc were ever made. There arc speci-
mems of every grade of weighing
machine, from the big track scales that
can weigh railroad car full of pig
lead and weighing eighty thousand
pounds, down to tiny balance so fine
that it is kept in glass case which you
could carry in your vest pocket. The
smallest scale of all is made for delicate
tests in assaying. 1t is adjusted to
miligrammcs. Its sensitiveness is SO
fine that you can weigh hair or an
eyelash on it. You can write your
name on slip of paper with a lead
pencil and then find out just how much
your signature weighs. The weights
are the merest bits of aluminium not
half so big as the head of pin. The
machine is so delicate that little dust
blowing from the street will affect its
accuracy, and it has to be carefully
cleaned after each exposure. 1t is
made of aluminium. platinum and the
finest tempered steel. People do not
use it as a plaything as a genera! rule.
1t costs rs much rs its weight in gold.
Every once in while a sceptic comes
along who doesn't believe that story
about the scales that will weigh hair
from mans head, and if the manager
of the store is good natured and has
plenty of time. he will bring out the
wonderful little machine and operate
it. A reporter happened in the other
day while the operation was going on.
The manager took slip of ordinary
writing paper and weighed it. IT
weighed thirty-eight milligrammes.
Then he gave the paper to the visitor
with lead pencil and the visitor wrote
'John Henry Larned'' on it in full.

slip back on the scales and fixed the
little weights. The mans signature
weighed five milligrammes.
Then the man pulled hair out of his
head and the manager found that it
weighed three milligrammes. An eye.
lash weighed little less than one mil.

weighed five milligrammes.

Near where the maiden fingers yet.
